'Goodbye World' – Homebrew Game + Source Code by ThatOtherDev

[The Central Scrutinizer]

ThatOtherDev, known here on PSX-SCENE as ThatOtherPerson, has released his first 'Homebrew Game' made using PSL1ght.

“Hello world” programs are so cliche. So here is my first simple piece of homebrew made using PSL1GHT (everything else I’ve released for PS3 was made with the leaked SDK). You control a space ship using the left analog stick well the world relentlessly follows you and pleads for you to stay. There is no real objective, scoring or anything like that. It’s a non game.

I’ve just realized that it doesn’t seem to be working at lower resolutions. It works fine in HD with an HDMI cable but when using component cables it just goes to a black screen. The same thing happens with the RSX test sample (which is what I used as the basis of this) so the problem isn’t something I introduced. I’m guessing there is probably some flaw with the videoGetResolution function but that’s just a blind assumption. I haven’t done any real testing yet or made any attempt to correct the problem. It would be helpful if there was documentation to consult…

The source code is available for anybody that wants it.

Nice one ThatOtherDev! It's good to see something released that makes the whole PS3 drama look worthwhile

This is great work, ThatOtherDev. Just in time, as I was thinking the other day about your previous release and any updates or new projects.

.....so.......you can make games and port them right? what about those using engines like cry3? or does it need to be in a basic language...sorry if this isn't the place, just curious.

Thanks everyone.

Nope. Porting something like CryEngine 3 would be a colossal task for a single individual (or even a small group of homebrew developers) to complete and more importantly it just simply isn't possible as its my understanding that its not an open source engine.
